Holiday Blue Water Lodge in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who manage diabetes with oral medication will find specific support for their condition, while the community does not provide memory care for dementia-related diagnoses. The emphasis is on maintaining medical oversight in a residential setting, allowing seniors to remain as independent as possible while still benefiting from clinical resources.
Care is delivered by staff who remain awake and on duty throughout the night, and an on-site team provides occupational and physical therapy, podiatry services, massage therapy, hospice coordination, and ongoing nurse oversight. Medication management is available for residents who need help organizing or administering prescriptions. Full assistance can be provided with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can help with transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, or standby supervision.
Apartments and suites are cleaned regularly through a housekeeping schedule, and residents have access to planned laundry services. Floor plans vary, and not every accommodation includes the same features, so prospective residents should review specific layouts during a visit.
Dining is offered three times daily, with a private dining room available for family gatherings or special occasions. Menus are designed to meet general nutritional guidelines and can be adapted for residents who need diabetic-friendly options or other physician-recommended diets.
Additional amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, barber and beauty services, internet access, a library, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for shopping, appointments, or outings. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
